Race History

In depth

Verdict

None of these exactly distinguished themselves last time so this looks a tough race to call. Maybe blinkers will persuade Tuskar Rock to put his best foot forward but he was a long way behind the error-prone Supreme Bob at Exeter last month. It's a long time since Amaury De Lusignan has shown any worthwhile form and Milans Well is out of sorts but Rossa Parks would go close if anywhere near her best. CLOUDINGSTAR only gets a token vote as he was well beaten on his chasing bow but he did win over this trip over hurdles and is proven on soft ground.

Rossa Parks (IRE) 6-4fav (11-12) Mistakes, held up in touch in last pair, some headway on inside 13th, no chance with leading duo before next, weakened to 5th and eased approaching 3 out, tailed off, last of 5, well behind Tolkeins Tango (11-9) at Wincanton 2m 5f hcp ch 0-110 (4) sft.

Milans Well (IRE) 16-1 (10-12) Not fluent and well in rear, tailed off and pulled before 7th, in a race won by Virginia Ash (11-2) at Plumpton 3m 1f hcp hdl 0-115 (4) hvy in Jan, 12 ran.
